“This was our first time having Rachel look after our boys! She did an excellent job and was stellar with her questions and attention to detail. She had questions for us about details we forgot on our OWN cat instructions. If you are looking for a new cat sitter - look no further!”
About: I grew up with dogs and hamsters as a kid, but my love for animals didn’t end there. I raised and trained two dogs from puppies to adult. I volunteered at the SPCA socializing cats. I adopted and raised cats from kitten to adult. I currently have a 15 yr old and two 2.5 yr old cats. I have helped dog sit and cat sit for friends over the years and fostered several litters of dogs and a few cats. I love animals and will ensure yours gets the attention, care and time they deserve. I’m currently a teacher on summer break . I’m traveling for some of June but around in July with low key plans around the area. I’d fit my plans around your fur baby’s needs. I will follow the needs you share of your pets and your expectations , and use my skillset to connect with your animals at the level they are comfortable with.
About: I grew up with the sweetest Shih Tzu in the world named Dak (a small computer chip). And I think my style of pet care came from taking care of him. I was attentive and gave him lots of love. He loved driving in the car with me, actually :) I have been pet sitting for friends and on other platforms for over 5 years in their homes. And I took care of a neighbor's bird way back in high school. For the most part I have specialized in cats and small to medium dogs. I also have a calm spirit that many animals are drawn to. So we can chill together for a long time. In addition, I'm responsible and respectful, caring and considerate not only for pets but also for owner's homes. I am able to communicate well and clearly and can problem solve to resolve any situation which might arise. In short, I have the know-how to be able to feed, entertain, clean up after, and love cats and dogs and their living spaces. And I can communicate well to their parents to keep them safe and happy while mom and dads are away. I currently work part-time teaching English online. I also am writing my doctoral dissertation. This means I am home a lot and very happy to spend lots of time with pets, even at my desk with me or curled up on the sofa. I strictly watch pets in their own homes. Firstly, because I am missionary and I've been staying temporarily in my parents house in North Carolina and now here with my brother in Palo Alto. Secondly, because I think pets are much happier if they can stay in their own homes and in familiar surroundings.
“Juneau really seemed to like her. We had our home camera on and Mara was very appropriate in the home. She was easy to communicate with and followed our directions. We plan to use her in the future with our son’s dog.”
“Sjofn was soooooo happy to get so many belly rubs she was thrilled and didn’t want them to leave. I highly recommend Guilherme and his wife. Sjofn would be thrilled to get more belly rubs and I would be happy to have them watch her again :)”
“Rachel was amazing taking care of my two kitties while we were away. She was always in communication and kept me updated on how they were doing with pictures and videos! I would highly recommend Rachel !”
About: I grew up with a cat and two dogs, and am trusted to care (walk, feed,etc) for roommates’ pets for short intervals or days at a time. I have experience caring for dogs from 30lb to 120lbs. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule and time to care for your fur babies! I previously provided regular care for cats and dogs in DC, and am looking forward to caring for new pets on CA. It gives me joy to interact with dogs & cats! I love playing with cats and dogs in safe environments. I am comfortable watching out for them in dog parks or individual settings. I have experience walking multiple dogs at once.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for 4+ years. Friends and neighbors have entrusted me with both their pets and homes! Services have included simple house care, and walking and feeding of pets. I’m currently studying full time at Santa Clara University so my daily routine varies on my class schedule. Right now I’m currently on summer break but working so my availability typically runs after 5pm and free on the weekends I am very respectful and mindful of my clients homes. I leave the home in the same condition it was left to me. I clean up after the dog/ cat whenever needed!
“Danielle truly is the cat whisperer! She managed to get my cat to come and hang out with her, a feat no one else to this point has been able to accomplish. She did a great job sending daily updates with pictures. I recommend her completely.”
About: I've cared for the dogs and cats of close friends and family, and I take that responsibility seriously every time. At home, I share my space with my own dog and three cats, so your pet will be in the care of experienced hands. I'm the kind of sitter who sends updates, sticks to routines, and makes sure every pet feels safe and comfortable — because I know how much your fur baby means to you. My working hours are flexible so I can fit your schedule and the needs of your pets with ease. I am open to pet sitting from 8am to 11pm on weekdays and weekends I am committed to send updates, sticks to routines, and makes sure every pet feels safe and comfortable — because I know how much your fur baby means to you.
“Julia was wonderful! She dropped in to care for my 2 cats for three days. Her Rover cards were awesome with tons of pics and great feedback about her visit. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jenna is an absolutely fantastic pet sitter. She took care of our cats for two weeks while we were traveling and spent lots of time playing with them gave us daily updates with cute photos and was generally super communicative. She went above and beyond. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve had countless pets growing up, as my mom regularly rescues street dogs. We care for them until they get placed in shelters. I’ve been taught to handle all types of dogs from super energetic to calm dogs. I'm currently a senior at Menlo-Atherton High School. I'm always available on weekends. On weekdays I’m available anytime after 3pm, except Thursdays where I’m available anytime after 1pm. I’m very observant of dog’s behavior and try to match their energy, while keeping their environment as stress free as possible. My number one priority is always your dogs safety and ensuring they are comfortable
“Dog Sitter Review: Exceptional Care and Attention! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of using John for the second time, and once again, he exceeded all my expectations! This time, he took care of not just my resident dog but also my foster puppy, and I couldn't be more grateful for his dedication and compassion. It was clear that John has a genuine love for animals. He provided both dogs with plenty of attention, playtime, and care, ensuring they felt comfortable and happy during my absence. His ability to manage the needs of both my resident dog and a young, energetic puppy was impressive, and it gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. What truly stood out this time was the extra effort he put into making my home feel welcoming upon my return. Not only did he take great care of my dogs, but he also went above and beyond by cleaning my apartment and even disposing of my trash! It’s those little touches that show how much he cares about his clients and their homes. I cannot recommend John enough! His professionalism, attentiveness, and kindness make him an outstanding choice for pet care. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family and ensure your home is well taken care of, look no further. I will definitely be using his services again in the future! Thank you,John, for all that you do!”
“Thien-Nha is absolutely wonderful and I’m so lucky to have found her. She’s reliable, responsive, and incredibly kind. Even my super shy kitty came out of hiding to say hello when Thien-Nha came over. I feel she really goes above and beyond for our pets and that is simply invaluable. Will definitely hire her again for our next trip.”
“Alexis did a drop in visit with my cat who has medication needs, and was so attentive and followed my instructions so well! She’s very thorough and caring and I already booked her again!”
“Ian is amazing! I feel so lucky to have found him and that he was available over Memorial Day weekend. He dropped in 2x a day to hang out with my kitty Butternut. Ian was great in keeping Butternut engaged and cared for. He sent pictures and videos everyday which were adorable. 5 stars all around!”

Katelyn was absolutely incredible with my two cats! She did a fantastic job feeding and playing with them, and she sent tons of wonderful photo updates that totally put my mind at ease. On top of that, one of my kitties had a messy bathroom accident, and she went above and beyond to clean everything up.
Justine is the best! She was flexible and kind, working with us when our plans changed on short notice. She's always wonderful with our kitty and shares detailed updates. She even went above and beyond to help us address a pest issue while we were away. Thank you, Justine!!
I was very impressed with G.'s visits. My cat is very skittish but when I returned from my trip, she was calm so I think G. did nothing to cause anxiety. In addition, in one of her daily reports, G. pointed out something about the cat's feeding habits. I was aware of this but felt that it was very responsible of G. to notice it after just a couple of days and bring it to my attention. I will be calling G. the next time I have a trip planned. Thank you G. for being so conscientious.
This was our first time having Rachel look after our boys! She did an excellent job and was stellar with her questions and attention to detail. She had questions for us about details we forgot on our OWN cat instructions. If you are looking for a new cat sitter - look no further!
Ally was so great taking care of our senior cat. He needs medication and some extra care so having Ally give him the right attention was important to us. Ally gave us detailed updates and pictures throughout our vacation which helps us know our cat is well taken care of. Highly recommend Ally for any pet care.
Kelly is an amazing caretaker for 16 year old inside / outside cat. She has had to troubleshoot problems on the spot (like a broken e-collar) and travel in unpredictable conditions. She always sends wonderful updates and photos and videos and is very kind, responsible, responsive, and caring. Cannot recommend Kelly more! She is fantastic.
